What is the lower bound of probability before a scenario is implausible?

@System

If it is less than fifteen percent, I consider it implausible.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Are you implying that no scenario exists in concept that guarantees a victory?

@System

No plausible scenarios. There are theoretical ones, such as, say, a Codi with a sufficient power of negation being born. Or Nyarlathotep getting bored and deciding to stop on her own. Assuming she's genuine in her desires to take over Existence, there are none that I can see that give us even a fifty percent chance.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

There are uncountable different possible scenarios, but I'd like to know how likely each must be for you to consider it.

@System

The lowest and highest are what I'm focusing on right now. As good as I am, there is a headache when it comes to trying to come up with a scenario, then check it, then alter it, check it, ad nauseam. It's much easier to check for highs and lows.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

What factors have you accounted for to make your estimations?

@System

For the zero percent, it's the Codex all splitting to one of the sides or flat out joining Nyarlathotep. Both have reasonably low probabilities, but they exist. Beyond that, I feel like I've explained it already. I can repeat if you'd like.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

What are the best and worst possible probabilities that we might face?

@System

Could you be more specific? Overall, the worst we can face is a zero-percent chance in some circumstances I can't predict. The best is a forty-seven percent chance if we manage to not only stop the war from leaving the galaxy it's currently stuck in, but also have all of both sides wiped out and all of the most powerful undecideds join us.

Myriad Reality

...
Is this really the state of the Codex at this point?

Regardless. Our chances as they stand now are around two percent of defeating Nyarlathotep. If we free Azathoth, that chance raises to thirty. That's our best shot. There are unknown factors, such as the more powerful Codi still not aligned with either side, but those close to Azathoth would quickly rejoin her, and the battle between them and Nyarlathotep's closer allies would weaken both sides. Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate if we go this route, as I'll be preoccupied with preventing direct confrontation from the two. At best, if we can ally everyone not already on their sides, we have just under a fifty-fifty shot at victory. Those are our best odds, as they stand now. If we count the rest of our universe being dragged into this fight, that goes down significantly. To offset this, I invited Ma'at's mate; if he assists, we may be able to prevent the war from spreading. Though this is all to be said without the possibility of other universes joining with Nyarlathotep, or should we release her, Azathoth.

That's right, little Codex~ It's tempting to simply be rid of you now, but where's the fun in that? Now that Azy is gone... Well, the idea of her becoming a Codex is slightly alarming. So I'll leave you free for now. But know this: There will come a time when you must choose to join me, or perish. See ya~

<Snipped quote by The World>

-One Codex- The Codi all have powers?
-Another- How can they be threatening Existence?
-Another- We did what we could before, but how are 32 of us meant to stop billions?

@Disdain

Yes. To varying degrees, just as Codex have throughout history. They are a threat mainly because of Nyarlathotep leading them. And our best bet would be to release Azatoth from her seal so that she and Nyarlathotep will begin fighting each other again. There are many who would support her. Though, then it becomes an issue of picking sides. I doubt that both sides can be defeated unless certain things come to pass.

I'm surprised. Well, just because Seth was stubborn doesn't mean I have to expect you to be.

@Disdain

Recently, the combination of the NAN Sector and the rest of Existence has finalized. This was the reason for Yander's plan to recreate the original Trigger and restore it to the Original Generator, something you all have likely forgotten. Unfortunately, being at it when it happened resulted in the loss of two of us, Yander and Mikial. Regardless of this, the split that occurred in the first place has resulted in two versions of history. The combination of the two has resulted in the history I'm from becoming the true history, in layman's terms. There's more to this, of course, but that's the basis you need to understand.

In this history, the was a species-wide war between Codi. We all were dragged into it, though you Codex as always remained elsewhere. Eventually, however, we all gained Codex powers. This made the war very... different. There were two main factions in the end, and the leaders of the two are now setting their sights on the rest of Existence. When Baphumet killed two of us, I and another became Codex. That brings us to now.

*The Codex give general expressions of distaste for listening to somebody they don't know, but together acknowledge that you are a Codex with the powers Ma'at explained and that you can probably be trusted; they slowly quiet down*

@Disdain

History as you know it is incorrect. I will be here to answer any questions you may have. The important part, to begin with, is that you may notice your powers no longer work the way they did before. But that is a misnomer, they are now working the way they actually did before, which is different from how you have been using them. It's also important for you to know what has now become the recent history of our home dimension.

*Grumbles* I dislike when he does that. He should come here physically like the rest of us. *Opens a portal back to Aphrodite's mansion, where the Codex mill about, grumbling*

@Disdain

Everyone! There is information that you need. I watched as one of you attempted to share it, but there was interference. Preventing that, it is imperative that you all understand what's going to happen, and what has happened already.
